Chapter 26 Adaptation Limit
There is an electric vehicle shed next to the administration building.
The repairman, who was also the father of the little girl named Yao Yao, led a group of people to "steal" several batteries.
Although they are both in a depleted state, they can be used as long as they are charged.
Moreover, they even brought back a perfectly good old-age electric vehicle.
It's the kind with solar panels, and he's currently figuring out how to get it on the road.
Xu Si was completely mesmerized. He stopped treasuring the oil drum and stared intently at the old man's car. This thing and his tricycle were a perfect match.
"Stop talking, let's go. This commotion is too big! Even a psionic barrier probably won't be enough to contain it."
Fu Xiaojian urged everyone to hurry up and get on the road. Tashan had already been skillfully stuffed into the school bus by the other passengers.
"Brother, can this car still move?" Xu Si leaned closer to the mechanic who was engrossed in inspecting the car. He was Yao Yao's father, and he remembered that the man's surname was Wang.
Master Wang looked up, wiped the grease off his face, and shook his head: "The battery is too low, and the wiring is a bit old. It's unlikely I can drive it away directly. But the parts are good, especially this solar panel. If we can find a way to connect it, we can charge the walkie-talkie, the small fan, and other things."
Disassembling parts?
Xu Si was a hundred times unwilling.
He was interested in the overall potential of this old man's car!
"Master Wang, I need to discuss something," Xu Si said in a low voice, pointing to "Little Knife" beside him.
"Look at my tricycle, the engine's fine, it just lacks a proper cab. How about I trade you your old man's vehicle? I'll give you some supplies in exchange!"
"Dad, let's go!" came the little girl's urging voice from the car not far away.
"Let's go first, and talk after we've rested!"
Xu Si then realized what he had been busy with.
He had been trying to tow this car behind his sedan, but now he could set off immediately.
Xu Si's expression brightened with joy.
The lack of refusal meant there was hope, so he picked up his large oil drum, hung it on the back of the carriage, and quickly started the engine and set off.
He didn't want to stay in this place for even a minute longer.
Although the system kept beeping, he would rather face Yan Gui than face this guy again.
These kinds of guys are a nightmare for them.
The only thing that made him happy was that the 300 purification points he had just spent on upgrading gasoline were now fully replenished, potentially making him rich overnight.
"Brother Tongzi, how many purification points do I have now?"
Current purification point: 3200
"Brother Tongzi, how many purification points do I have now?"
Current purification point: 3200
……
Haha, Xu Si has never been this rich before.
"Brother Dao, why are you laughing so creepily? Have you been possessed by a monster?" The little girl's voice came through the convoy's walkie-talkie, completely ruining Xu Si's good mood.
"If I were possessed, I'd eat you first, then use your bones to pick my teeth!"
"You dare?" The little girl felt a chill run down her spine.
"Brother Dao wouldn't do that, Brother Dao is a good person!" said the honest Xiao Luo over the walkie-talkie.
"Brother Dao is no good person!" the little girl huffed angrily.
Urged on by Fu Xiaojian, the convoy quickly drove away from the sky that was reddened by the firelight.
After driving for more than two hours and confirming that there were no strange pursuers behind them, they finally stopped on a relatively secluded hillside.
While everyone was still in shock, the vehicles surrounded them, and Tashan was carefully placed on the makeshift bed in the school bus. His stone carapace was slowly repairing itself, and his breathing was steady and long. It seemed that, just as Fu Xiaojian had said, this serious injury was not entirely a bad thing for him.
Xu Si couldn't wait to take stock of the "gains" from this trip.
Although the huge fuel tank was empty, it still had a very large capacity, at least two hundred liters, enough to easily fit a little girl and a schoolgirl inside.
How many purification points are needed to upgrade this fuel tank to a knife?
[This fuel tank exceeds the current vehicle compatibility limit!]
[Upgrading the fuel tank to the vehicle's maximum capacity requires 100 purification points]
[Estimated fuel tank capacity after upgrade: 60 liters]
Estimated time: 20 minutes
[Upgrade?]
Xu Si was taken aback. He thought that Brother Tong was omnipotent, but he didn't expect that vehicles would have an upgrade limit.
It seems that even a 200-liter fuel tank is too much for Xiaodao to handle.
This made him hesitate. Such a large fuel tank is hard to come by. If he wasted it this time, he didn't know when he would find it again.
"no"
Let's see if we can get our hands on the old man's car.
Since there's a limit to how much a knife can be upgraded, then just upgrade the knife to increase that limit!
As night fell, a campfire was lit at the new campsite, dispelling the chill in everyone's hearts and the shadow cast by the factory.
Fu Xiaojian gathered the core members. Apart from Tashan, who was still in a coma, Xu Si, Su Su, Xiao Luo, and the school bus driver (a calm middle-aged man) who represented Tashan's interests all sat down together.
After all, it's unknown how long Tashan will remain in a coma.
The supplies this time were not much: four baskets of potatoes that Tashan collected from the canteen, a broken fuel tank from Xu Si, and four batteries that the people on the school bus brought back together.
Actually, there were six batteries in total. The other two were distributed according to work, and were given to the repairman, who was Yao Yao's father.
As for the old man's car, he brought it back himself, so it wasn't included in the allocation.
Four baskets of potatoes were relatively easy to divide, even though they had all sprouted. But who cares about that these days?
Fu Xiaojian and Xiao Luo, as the team leaders, each received 30% of the prize money, while Xu Si, Su Su, and Ta Shan split the remainder equally.
This was the allocation plan that had been determined beforehand.
If new combatants are added, the two of them will remain at 30%, and the remaining supplies will be divided equally among the combatants.
Xu Si received 48 jin of sprouted potatoes.
After the potatoes were distributed, everyone looked at Xu Si, since he was the only one interested in his gas tank, but they couldn't leave it undistributed.
"You don't really need this fuel tank, so I'll buy your share with eighteen pounds of potatoes!" Xu Si offered, which was already quite fair.
Everyone nodded in agreement, since they really didn't have much use for it.
"I think we should each take one of these four batteries! Let's not divide them up!" Fu Xiaojian said.
No one objected; thankfully there were four, otherwise three or five would have been really difficult to divide.
This thing is quite useful, at least for Xu Si.
His car is a hybrid, and the battery capacity is not large to begin with, so this battery came in a lifesaver.
If he can get his hands on the electric car for the elderly, he'll have solar panels, which can not only charge his knife, but if he upgrades the external interface, he can also charge his mobile phone.
What if we could contact the outside world? What if we could contact his sister?
"No rush! There's one more thing that needs to be allocated!"
After the items were distributed, Xu Si was about to get up and leave when Fu Xiaojian called him back.
As they were talking, the old butler reappeared with that familiar box.
